Brief History

Heave-Ho Properties was founded in 1990 by entrepreneur, Deborah Cumming, who, whilst working in Ocho Rios, on Jamaica’s North Coast, saw the need for a professional real estate company to service clients who wanted to buy, sell or rent quality properties in Jamaica.

In 1990 Deborah moved to Jamaica’s capital, Kingston and began focusing on the domestic market. Since then, the Company has grown and succeeded on its strengths of providing high-quality customer service, and its ability to consistently deliver results for its clients. This proven track record has earned the Company frequent referrals and has built a solid base of local and international clients.

In 1998, Heave-Ho Properties became part of the CENTURY 21 system. As CENTURY 21 Heave-Ho Properties (an independently owned and operated company), it benefits from the association with one of the largest real estate organizations in the world. CENTURY 21 Heave-Ho Properties, with its proven reputation for excellence, is well-respected in the real estate market for providing its agents with superior training, up-to-date technology in the industry, and extensive advertising programs.

With over 50 Agents, CENTURY 21 is passionate about raising the standards in the real estate industry. The Company offers the most comprehensive sales agent training programme in Real Estate in Jamaica and is intent on moving the real estate sector in Jamaica to unprecedented levels by offering a comprehensive range of real-estate services coupled with an unparalleled level of customer service.

Deborah Cumming, as the Broker, has won CENTURY 21's prestigious individual Centurion Award on 7 occasions. The Company has been the Number 1 CENTURY 21 Office in the Caribbean and has held this position for the past several years. Our Sales Associates are also past winners of the international Centurion, Masters Ruby, Masters Diamond and Emerald Awards.
